jay, i value william's opinion as much as i disagree with it. i VALUE contrary opinions more than similar opinions. it tests my thesis. this is all about making money and i'd love to make money long or short. i just don't like the risk/reward of going long. william wasn't chased off. he left of his own volition after some bears asked him to stay. i think it had more to do with holding a stock through nearly $150, watching it lose 50% of its value and the ensuing disappointment that drove william off this thread. perhaps he was even a big buyer in the higher price levels. as someone who has made many killings and been killed many times, i know the feeling. that is a part of the heat that comes with the kitchen. amzn could go to $150 or higher again or it could go to $10. i have no idea. longer term, though, as it becomes painfully obvious that amzn is a mail order company with a nice website and that the net isn't a profit panacea, it will trade at more historically reasoned valuations.
